Excellent place for lunch and breakfast, and every recently expanded for weekend dinners. This place is the real deal, you should come here and try.

This place is delightful. I have enjoyed Sunday brunch there as well as their new BNC, Banana River Cafe at Night. Go now, I mean right now! Wonderful food at amazing prices. I went to their Italian night and enjoyed an amazing burrata appetizer, pesto pasta with chicken and the best Cesar salad I have ever had. The service was amazing. Support this local gem!

The food was fantastic. The strip mall location isn't impressive but come for the food and friendly attentive service. I had the Greek omelette that was very tasty and cooked to perfection. My husband had the Alamo wrap and pasta salad. We'll be back!

Shout to @Banana River Cafe near Cocoa Beach for an amazing breakfast. I think the pancakes were the best I ever had tasting something like a glazed donut & the service was outstanding. If you're in the area this is a must stop, you can thank me later

Must comment on this morning's marvelous Breakfast Bowl. Grilled chili-rubbed chicken & shrimp with an exquisite chipotle sauce, excellent grits; unlike any normal breakfast dish I've ever had. Memorable.Lesson: Go to Banana River if you enjoy trying masterfully created new interpretations of classic American dishes; Emerson's ever-evolving culinary imagination appears to have no limits.

I had the Morning Quesadilla for lunch. It was so good! Smoothies are delicious too,
If you haven't been to Banana River Cafe After Dark you are definitely missing out! They only do it Thursday- Saturday from 5pm-9 pm. I tasted the pasta dishes and said "finally! Some delicious pasta dishes in our area!" The rolls with lemon herb butter is delicious as is the cesar salad. We sampled some bolognese and when I say it was an out of body experience it was! Lol! The chicken Piccata was so fresh lemony and the capers added a burst of flavor! The pork belly pasta was exquisite with sundried tomato and mushrooms! The service is excellent as usual so kind and friendly they truly make you feel at home! We also had some red velvet cake with a sauce on top it was the perfect dessert to finish off the meal! I definitely recommend coming to Banana River Cafe their breakfast/lunch is awesome that's for sure but dinner was an absolute treat!! Definitely recommend! Loved it and will be coming back soon!!!

Stopped in on a whim for an early lunch after a visit to Brevard Association for the Advancement of the Blind. It's a local place but seating was easy for late breakfast/early lunch. Menu has a lot of breakfast and lunch variety. We had the Crazy Chicken Salad and the special board burger. Both were great - large portions. Pasta salad side was good as was the fresh fruit. Overall I'd definitely stop in again - maybe try one of the smoothies

My wife was getting her hair cut nearby, so I went in for a late breakfast. Really fun menu! I settled on a Mexican omelet. It is a large portion, came with toast and potatoes. The omelet had chorizo, mild green peppers, guacamole, and sour cream. Very good, I couldn’t finish it all. With an excellent cup of coffee, just over 15$ before tip. The facility is fun, restrooms clean, friendly staff.

Amazing place. A small restaurant but-wow! they did a great job! There was one waitress and she was absolutely amazing taking care of everyone. Their menu is reasonably priced and the food was very delicious. I got the chocolate chip pancakes with eggs, and my mom got a breakfast bowl they had on the specials board (apologies as I can't remember it's exact name). Make sure to check the specials board on their wall when you come in, everything on there sounded great! I will definitely be coming back here with friends and family. A great little spot to get breakfast/brunch!

Not following health codes in kitchen, no hair nets/beard nets or gloves. They change the trash and then grab your bacon. Flies are always landing on my plate and head while I try to eat. I have tried to keep supporting this local business that I used to enjoy but the owner is too lax on food preparation health safety.
